Pentax 75mm F/4.5 SMC Lens For Pentax 67 (USED)

The SMC Pentax 6x7 75 F/4.5 wide-angle lens correspond to the 35mm wide-angle focal length in the 35mm film format. Considering the retro-focus design, the lens is relatively compact, yet absolutely no sacrifice in optical performance was made in order to reduce their physical dimensions. The extensive depth of field and close focusing capabilities aid greatly in the creation of highly dramatic effects. Furthermore, focusing is simplified y its comparatively large maximum aperture. Lens construction: 4 elements in 5 groups Angle of view: 61 degrees 

Don’t let the "modest" f/4.5 aperture fool you. This lens is famously sharp, with many users reporting it as one of the sharpest optics in the entire Pentax 67 lineup.

• Exceptional Sharpness: It provides incredible resolution across the entire 6x7 frame, making it a favorite for photographers who need to make large, detailed prints.

• Super Multi-Coating (SMC): Pentax’s legendary SMC technology significantly reduces flare and ghosting, maintaining high contrast even when shooting in tricky lighting or backlit situations.

• Minimal Distortion: Unlike its faster aspheric sibling, the f/4.5 version is known for having virtually no barrel distortion, which is a major advantage for architectural and landscape work.

Versatility: The "Storyteller" Focal Length

On a 6x7 negative, the 75mm focal length translates to roughly 35mm-37mm in full-frame terms.

This makes it the quintessential "environmental" lens. It is wide enough to capture the context of a scene but tight enough to feel natural and undistorted. It’s the perfect middle ground between the ultra-wide 45mm and the standard 90mm or 105mm.
